Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking. This 'Vieilles Vignes' (Old Vines) Pinot Blanc pays tribute to the region's deep-rooted viticultural heritage, utilizing grapes harvested from older, low-yielding vines that dig deep into Alsace's complex mosaic of limestone and clay soils. In Alsace, Pinot Blanc wines are often a harmonious blend of Pinot Blanc and its close relative, Auxerrois. The old vines impart a remarkable depth, concentration, and subtle minerality to the wine, balancing its natural roundness. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant, fresh fruit character, this wine captures the essence of Alsatian terroir—where the protective rain shadow of the Vosges Mountains allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop rich aromatic profiles.
